Inspect the battery.
1. Check whether the battery is fixed well.
2. Check whether the battery positive and
negative cable connectors are loose or corroded.
3. Check the battery positive and negative cable
insulation for damage.
4. Keep the battery surface clean and dry, to
prevent blocking the vent of the battery. Before
long-distance traveling or after use of the battery
for more than one year, you should go to the
authorized dealer of BAIC to check battery
power.
Jumper start
If you need to start the engine in jumper mode,
see page 256 for jumper starting. If the engine
still cannot be started in jumper mode or the
battery cannot be charged, the battery should be
replaced. Please contact the authorized dealer of
BAIC for replacement of the battery.
Battery charging
If the vehicle is parked for a long time without
use, or frequent starts, or often short travel short
distances in cold environments, it can cause
battery power loss, and you will be unable to start
the vehicle. The battery needs to be charged
additionally. Go to the authorized dealer of BAIC
for charging
Warning
●
Do not charge the battery when it is not
removed. Otherwise, it could seriously
damage the electrical components of the
vehicle.
●
Do not attempt to charge the battery if
the battery is frozen in cold environments,
because there is the risk of explosion.
Protection in winter
Since the starting power provided by the battery
at low temperature is lower than that at normal
temperature.
Therefore, before winter, you’d better go to the
authorized dealer of BAIC Motor for inspection
of the vehicle battery, and charge the battery or
replace it if necessary.
In extremely cold weather conditions, battery
charging will take longer. If the battery is
insufficiently charged, the battery fluid will
freeze and damage the battery. To ensure the
effectiveness of the battery, you should check it
regularly.
If the vehicle is parked for several weeks or
longer in extremely cold environments, the
vehicle battery should be removed and stored at
room temperature to protect the battery from
freeze damage.
